Very excited about a new S&G. What a great score for a lousy movie. Rozsa at his best! And it is very exciting about Obsession and Duel in the Sun.

James,

Is this a hint that you will be re-recording this for your Rozsa title next year!

Yes I will including the cues not contained on this "complete" recording.....



Very glad to hear this. S&G will benefit tremendously from a new recording. I'll probably dump my copy of the original tracks with the so-so sound. Hooray for Tadlow!

It's a helluva score, one of Miklos' best.

Tadlow will nail this one.


Hell, yes!! Ever since the COPP Orchestra recorded the Overture for their first Rozsa compilation, I have dreamed of hearing the entire score as Rozsa had intended it.

James, you truly must be committed to getting this score right, seeing as you've viewed the film 12 times. As with EL CID and QUO VADIS I'll be purchasing two copies of this when it comes out.

In my research I have had the "pleasure" of watching SODOM about 12 times!!!!!!


I hope you watched the full-length version James! There are so many different versions of the film on DVD, many of which are cut versions. In particular, the main title sequence is considerably shortened and re-edited on some versions of the film with the music correspondingly cut.

Hi Doug

I seem to have a German/Korean version which does have some strange cuts..might you have a longer version I could borrow..even if it means I have to watch it yet again!!!

Excellent news James. It will go nicely alongside your Quo Vadis and El Cid.

I'll buy S & G for sure along with Obsession and Duel in the Sun.

I urge others to support Tadlow best you can.

Keep up the great work James! smile

I, too, am thrilled by this news. The complete main title music for the film is one of Rozsa's best, but about half of it
has never been available- really looking forward to the complete version re-recorded. As always, thanks to James
for his dedication to Dr. Rozsa and so many other classic film composers. I, too, will purchase all of the upcoming
recordings.

So James, I take it that you do not have access to any original score materials for this one?

While that would be far from ideal (who knows what music may have been written for but unused in the film, like El Cid?) you have shown in the past, recently with Goldsmith's The Salamander and QB VII that the results can still be incredible.

The IMDB, the AFI Catalog, and Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide all agree that SODOM AND GOMORRAH runs 154 minutes. So it should be a simple matter to determine whether the copy at hand is complete. I suppose there could be a question as to whether that running time includes the Overture and Entr'acte, but the Fox Video laserdisc, which includes neither, also runs 154 minutes.

I'm particularly looking forward to hear Messengers of Jehovah properly recorded

Is it a straight re-issue of the previous Digitmovies releases?

In any case, I am surprised that the two other great Digitmovies releases are not even discussed.

I like Tadlow too and have all of their fine releases. But what about Digitmovies Peter, the wonderful label highlighted in the subject line of this thread?

Would you not urge others also to support this great Italian label that brings out so many fine previously unreleased film soundtracks every year, including many Peplums? Just wondering?

The Fox Laserdisc did not contain the Epilogue (Exit Music) either.

Hey Niall, yes indeed Digitmovies has issued many fine CDs and SAE has quite an impressive listing for sale. This topic quickly became about the news of the forthcoming Tadlow Sodom & Gomorrah for next year. Perhaps the Tadlow news should have a thread of its own?
